Purdue University's top fundraising administrator resigned Monday, according to a university press release.

The university did not give a reason for the resignation of Lisa D. Calvert, vice president for development. University spokesman Chris Sigurdson declined to elaborate or say whether her resignation was tied to the $40 million in cuts that Purdue is seeking to afford a two-year tuition freeze. Those cuts, led by university president Mitch Daniels, have already included freezing administrators' pay.
